On the menu;
aspara no kimizu ae (asparagus dressed with egg yolk vinegar)
niku-jyaga (braised meat and potatoes)
saba no misoni (simmered mackerel with miso)
broad bean and ginger rice
Asparagus dressed with egg yolk vinegar: quite a vinegary flavour to this dish, but nice and light
Broad bean rice - delicious! I need to purchase a rice-coooker, everyone here has them and they make rice perfectly. There is something incredibly comforting and moreish about warm rice
Braised meat and potatoes: not really my kind of thing to be honest, but something that I'm sure Jack would like, especially as it is incredibly simple to make!
Simmered mackerel with miso: this was full of flavour (not good for people who don't like fish or miso, but I do so it was great). The fish was cooked in a sauce of sweet sake (mirin), sake, soy sauce, miso and ginger - a very Japanese dish!
Dessert: kashiwa mochi - a spring mochi (mochi is pounded sweet rice that is gooey and chewy) filled with miso an (puree of sweetened white beans with white miso). Believe it or not, I thought it tasted like caramel, it was good. The oak leaf if decorative - glad I checked before we started eating!
